Ever felt cosy wrapped up in a blanket and wished you could feel as comfy in class or in town? Well you can! Introducing... the woollen cape! We took inspiration from geishas in the summer with the kimonos, now we are taking inspiration from perhaps mongolian farmers for the cape.
Recently, I was on holiday in Portugal, and in Springfield (the shop, not 'The Simpsons' village), I saw an amazing woollen cape out of the corner of my eye, It was so unusual and I had to buy it! People be jel when I would be curled up in it watching Disney movies! However, it seems that 'the cape' is the new thing for A/W 14. Burberry have created a few and high-street retailers such as New Look and Miss Selfridge have lots of choice. With so many designers and shops to choose from, it looks like we'll all be looking stylish and feeling cosy watching Disney movies in winter...

Lady Gaga and senior crooner Tony Bennett are set to star in the new H & M Christmas advert. Yep really, the high street retailer have chosen Gaga and Bennett for the advert both print and television campaigns, and will feature a song from the duos new album 'Cheek to Cheek'. For the ad, Lady Gaga has been stripped of her weird dress sense. Gone are the strange sunglasses and yellow hair and instead features natural(ish) makeup, a brunette curly wig and an oversize woolly jumper. Strange to see that without all the excess eccentricity, she's actually quite pretty.
Whilst Lady Gaga fronting a clothing line is a bold decision to make from H & M, I can't help thinking that she may have been better fitting for a Vivienne Westwood campaign. What do you think?
